Schools, health care facilities and social services will all be disrupted as four unions representing a common front of some 420,000 workers go on strike to protest the province's latest contract offer.
The unions are promising a historic fight to preserve their purchasing power during a time of high inflation.
The government's latest offer includes a 10.3 per cent salary increase over five years and a one-time payment of $1,000 to each worker -- a proposal the unions have described as "paltry."
The strike will last from midnight until 10:30 a.m. in elementary and secondary schools and until noon in junior colleges.
Some health and social services, including mental health, youth protection and medical imagery, will operate at between 70 and 85 per cent capacity, depending on the department.
Emergency and intensive care services will be maintained at 100 per cent.
